hello there,
I just bought the Restaurant POS, and I have these two questions about the software:

1. If add my Menu items on one machine and want to use the same menu items on another(as I have bought two licences), what do I do (I guess I will have to copy and paste the database, and would require a password for that).
2. Is there an easy way of adding items to the Menu, like directly putting them on the database and they show up on the software?
3. If we selectively want to remove a particular date from the reports, how we do it.

I would really appreciate your help and if you could send me the information on my private email : which is my forum username @rediffmail.com

You should use [Import Items] button located on Configuration - Menu Items window (see bottom-right corner of the window).So you may type menu items, for example, in MS Excel then you may save it as comma or tab separated file. And then you may import all the items into ARPOS.

Please explain what do you mean? Do you need to delete all orders for specified date or something like this.

1. Both the computers are in different locations and no network between them. They are two different brach locations. So I will add or import the items on one computre, would I have to repeat the same procedure on the second one as well?

2. The administrator would like to delete the sales reports for the last month (after a back up) or last year.

Reports are generated on saved orders. Orders are saved in database. So there are two solutions:
1. You may remove orders by Delete Order button.
OR
2. In reports you may produce a report for given period, for example, from May 1, 2007 to May 31, 2007. In this case you don't have to delete any orders.

You cannot "delete" reports. Because when you generate a report by pressing Show button, ARPOS will count all orders in database. Then it will finds totals for all orders and then it will display it as a report.
So I repeat:
Now you can display report for selected week. But all orders are saved (remain untouched) in database.

OR

You have to delete all orders from database and then produce reports for all orders in the database.
Now you can delete orders one-by-one: see Delete Order button located on Orders window.
But, we are going to add new feature: "Delete orders for specified period". Other customers asked about this feature. So we will implement it soon. With this feature you will be able to delete orders from database. Then reports will be produced only for remained in database orders. I think that's what you need.
